Brand new Street Mode allows capturing sounds around and playing them directly to user’s ear. Hence help runners to stay safe when practicing jogging especially in busy streets.

The headset is equipped with powerful DSP (Digital Sound Processor) algorithms which reconstructs the sound, giving you the impression that the music is coming from in front of you; this is the “Parrot Concert Hall” effect.

Design by Starck

For Parrot Zik Sport, engineers have collaborated with the French designer Philippe Starck to provide the best of audio and innovation in comfortable and trendy new earphones.

“That’s a very impressive package given how much smaller these headphones are.”– Richard Lai, Engadget

“Parrot’s Zik 2.0 headphones are an impressive set of headgear, and with the Zik Sport, Parrot has done everything in its power to cram all of their power into a small package.”– Mario Aguilar, Gizmodo

“We’ve already seen headphones that can measure your heart rate, but at CES this year, Parrot’s gone several steps further”– Will Findlater, Stuff.tv

Hello…
these new IEMs Zik Sport by Parrot & Starck are surely a masterpiece.. a great design. However, I fully agree with the Lupin’s comment above concerning the stellar high quality of the new aluminum earphones Ubsound Fighter, for the excellent sound performance, for the super bass frequency playback, for the great v-shaped signature, for the buling quality & related materials, for the nice flat tangle-free wire and also for the unbeliavable low price considering the top manufacturing quality of these IEMs of just 69$. I bought the aluminum red sport color model whilst traveling in Spain and happy they are now available in the US as well.

Hi, yes these great earphones Zik Sport of Parrot are really engaging, with a superb design by Starck and an advance technology. That said above, as I am an IEMs collector with more than 70 high quality earphones in my own collection of the best worldwide audio brands, I’d like to underline that I fully agree with the comments of giorgio and lupin about the excellent high quality of the aluminum earphones Ubsound Fighter, which are really a masterpiece in the IEM scenario, for the design, sound signature in playback, the warm deep bass frequency, the flat tanglefree wire and their low price of around 60$ compared to their undisputed high quality.
However, imho, I also think that you can’t compare professional highend wired in-ear earphones like the Fighter series, with wirless bluetooth earphones for sport, which are obviously more focused on the style, design and fashion instead of a real acoustic performance rich in details and with a clear sound signature which gives a great soundstage 3d effect like the Fighter and many other brands specialized in IEMs.

I don’t know much about sport headphones, but I believe I’ve average knowledge about variety of head phones. Among them my all time favorite is sennheiser ie80 headphone which I bought from Bay Bloor Radio at Toronto ( http://www.baybloorradio.com ).
In my opinion. like Parrot Zik Sport headphone, the power of adaptive noise cancelling to isolate external sound is integrated to almost all new generation headphones. I truly love the idea of new street mode that can help runners when practicing jogging.
